Support for ODROID N2

Hi!

Has anybody tried to run NixOs on an ODROID N2?
https://www.hardkernel.com/blog-2/odroid-n2/

I’ve seen instructions for the C2
https://nixos.wiki/wiki/NixOS_on_ARM/ODROID-C2

Is there some sort of “porting guide”?

Thanks!

Have you tried it?
I’m considering the N2+ as a build/compilation board for Haskell.

Hi, I just managed to install NixOS on the eMMC of my Odroid N2+.

To do so I used Tow-Boot and followed the instructions documented on this page of the wiki : NixOS on ARM/UEFI - NixOS Wiki

Once Tow-Boot has been flashed to the SPI of the N2+ it should be able to boot from a USB key flashed with the NixOS aarch64 installer.

I just had NixOS working today on the N2+ so there might be problems but I hope this can help.

did you get any windowmanager working?
i just tried to run gnome and sway and they seem to fail to find the gpu.

Unfortunately there seems to be a problem while loading panfrost driver.

If you look at journalctl, there is an error message that happens when loading driver for the GPU.

I haven’t been able to fix this so right now I’m stuck.

If you have any progress don’t hesitate to share it. I will keep looking to find a fix.

I found this and its possible to build with nixos-21.11

this shouldn’t change much regarding the gpu issue i guess
But I chose this for now because towboot didn’t like to boot my mmc right away.
